Earlier this year, our friend @flanaganfilm —writer and director of The Haunting of Hill House, Doctor Sleep, Midnight Mass, and many others—asked Marcelo and myself if we’d like to create a very limited edition keepsake for his new film, The Life of Chuck. This movie, based on a Stephen King short story, recently premiered at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival. Mike commissioned a special edition of just 30 copies, all of which, to my knowledge, have been privately distributed as gifts to those involved with the movie. Although this book was never for sale, we thought some of you might enjoy seeing a few shots of this unique project (more photos in the comments). The book includes Stephen King’s original short story alongside the script for the film. It also features essays and signatures from @StephenKing , Mike Flanagan, Tom Hiddleston, Chiwetel Ejiofor, @karengillan and @MarkHamill We enlisted our pal, the incredibly talented Greg Manchess to create three paintings: a tipped-in frontispiece and two additional tipped-in illustrations within the short story. As expected from Greg, they are absolute stunners! The text design and layout were masterfully handled, as always, by Marcelo Anciano of @AreteEditions The book also contains numerous black-and-white behind-the-scenes photographs printed directly onto the page, along with 17 tipped-in colour images from the movie. The text and black-and-white images were digitally printed on 148gsm Mohawk Superfine Eggshell paper. We wanted the binding design to be simple, yet bold. It needed to complement this wonderful little story, which is about life’s fragility and how even the most ordinary of lives can be extraordinary. We sought to capture simplicity, joy, and fluidity of movement on the cover, which embodies Chuck’s expression of life through dance. I bound the books in cream goat leather and foil-blocked dancing Chucks/Toms across the entire cover in three colours. The page edges were hand-gilded in gold, and the hand-marbled paper was crafted by the amazingly talented Freya Scott of Paperwilds. The binding design concepts were developed by Allie Oldfield and me, with Allie executing the final drawings and foil-blocking designs to perfection—thank you, Allie! @allieoldfield The Chuck/Tom Hiddleston head on the front of the leather solander box is a cut-out all the way through the board and leather, revealing marbled paper beneath, symbolizing the universes contained within life itself—the multitudes we contain, and, in this case specifically, the multitudes Chuck contains. This project was such a joy to work on, and I’m incredibly proud to have been part of it. Most exciting of all, The Life of Chuck won the People’s Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival—congratulations to Mike and his fantastic cast and crew! After spending so much of the earlier part of this year poring over stills and reading bits and pieces of the script, I can’t wait to finally see the movie when it gets a release. Thanks Mike!

Here’s my list of favorite films of 2023, it comes as no surprise that the best films of this year dealt with strong topics such as ethnic cleansing, the banality of evil, humanity’s self-destructive tendencies, and the dehumanizing caste system.
